You have a couple of things obviously not there that I find useful, and one there that I have never had: the kernel ones. I get updated kernels without having it. But I also have a basic one and volatile (for things like clamav that are obviously useless if they are not kept up to date). Try adding the following to your sources.list and see if it makes any difference: <quote> deb http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ lenny main deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib non-free deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main </quote> Obviously, change the mirror if you would prefer to do so. Update and then upgrade. If you still get nothing I think that you just have to come to the conclusion that you are, by some strange magic, already fully upgraded, as has been suggested by others as well as by me. But I would keep those two, or similar (i.e. different mirror, if preferred), in your sources list.
